The Hampton Herald

The provincial election is now history, and of course everyone has their own personal observations as to what was significant, so not to be left out, here are some of my thoughts. In what was built up to be an extremely important election about the future of the province, voter turnout declined from over 69% in 2010 down to about 65% for this election. Why are we losing the battle of engaging voters? It is my personal belief that more and more voters are not real happy with our two “old” parties. I believe this is borne out by the higher number of voters selecting one of the non-traditional parties in this election. But I do wonder if there are also many more potential voters that are inclined to vote for one of the non-traditional parties but think “No, I’m just wasting my vote, nothing will change”. If we had a form of proportional representation that truly reflects how the citizens of New Brunswick really voted, here is what we might have. A Liberal minority government, with 5 or 6 NDP, 3 Green and 1 People’s Alliance member sitting in opposition along with about 16 Conservatives. Just imagine a New Brunswick government that could not make backroom deals of any nature

because they would have to rely on the support of one or more “other” parties. No longer could a single individual (premier) have the power to force through any legislation or deal that they find convenient. For many years now, NB premiers have exercised total control over the party’s elected MLAs, but with minority governments becoming routine their powers would be severely limited, as they properly should!! Unless we give a political party a true majority on election day, I feel certain that we would be far more likely to get the kind of government we are looking for, more consultative, more open and transparent, and more open to new ideas. Unfortunately, it is not in the best interest of the traditional parties to really do anything about the status quo. So it will be up to all of us who want serious reform of our electoral process by allowing virtually every single vote to actually count, to do something about it. 0001

POINT OF VIEW AUCTION FEVER What I witness each and every year, as we prepare for the province's longest running fund raising auction, can only be described as a well oiled machine. Despite all the hard work that goes into planning and executing the Belleisle Home & School Harvest Auction, everyone works well together and things run pretty smoothly. If you haven't already done so, mark Saturday, October 18 on your calendar. This is the day we celebrate 44 years of coming together for the benefit of our students. And, based on past experience, come together we will. Planning for the auction kicks into high gear the moment classes resume in September, and doesn't stop until the doors open on auction day. I'm sure whoever started the auction all those years ago had no idea that it would stand the test of time. Instead of losing momentum, it's grown and evolved into an important fundraiser that has allowed the Belleisle Home & School Association

by diane McMillan

to purchase many educational tools for students at both Belleisle schools. Last year's auction broke its all time fundraising record, raising $24,500. With your support, I have no doubt we can meet or beat that total this year. The auction is held at Belleisle Regional High School, which is located at 1800 Route 124 in Springfield. The doors open at 8:30am and auction bidding will get underway at 10:00am. Kevin Bond will serve as auctioneer. Words can't express how much we appreciate what Kevin does for us. His dad, Russell, was auctioneer for the first several years – a tradition that's continued with Kevin. It's not uncommon for him to put in 12 hour days on our auction stage and I'm sure people go just to hear him say “so what have you got here?” In addition to the live auction bidding, people can also bid on a wide variety of silent auction items generously donated by businesses. The Belleisle Boutique is another popular draw for visitors. There, you'll find everything from clothing and

toys to books and footwear. There are also 50/50 draws held throughout the auction, a raffle ticket table, bake sale, canteen facilities and pizza, brown bread, beans, chili and homemade desserts for sale in the cafeteria. Donations of furniture (with the exception of sofas), household items in good working order, clothing and linens will be accepted at the high school from October 13-­16. I'm one of several auction committee members who are canvassing businesses for donations again this year. If you would like to promote your business by donating an item for bidding, please feel free to contact me. My e­mail is diane@ ossekeag.ca. 0032

he day begins with the alarm sounding off.... *Eeeeee eeeeeeeee eeee*

You wake up, get dressed, and go about your normal “getting ready for work routine”. When you get into your car and start it, you hear a noise you have never heard before..... and then........ *cue dramatic music ... Dun dun duuuuuun* It won’t start. Panic begins to set in. “What’s wrong with my car?” you say to yourself. Hauling out your phone you madly dial the number of your local mechanic. Because it’s very early in the morning, you get his answering machine and you leave

slump in your seat then say to yourself, “maybe I can figure this out myself!” You pull the hood lever, get out, lift up the hood, and begin to look around. “This looks nothing like grandfather’s old car that we used to work on. I can’t see the battery or find the distributor.” you say to yourself. With the phone still to your ear you hear a cheerful voice, “Hello this is Jane/John Doe. How can I help you today?” You explain to them that your car won’t start and

Coolant - should be clear and not cloudy. Either orange, red, or green; but clear. Different colours designate different types of engine coolant. If the coolant is cloudy, it could be an indication that there may be a problem which needs to be attended to. Make sure you check your coolant’s freezing point as well. It should be -40 degrees Celsius. You can test this with a tester that can be obtained from any automotive store.

Lock de-icer can get you out of most sticky situations, this makes that phone call to your local car assist company can wait one more day.

Windshield wiper fluid - make sure it’s rated for at least -40 degrees Celsius. We get cold here in NB and there are different types of windshield fluids. If you aren’t sure which one to get, consult a professional. Load test your battery. To test for this you would need a load testing meter. Now, batteries are not located under the hood of all vehicles. If that is your case, consult your owners manual or your local professional. Check your tire condition and traction rating. Make sure they are rated for snow and ice. We get a lot of both here, so your tires need to be able to handle it. A lot of modern cars have tire pressure monitoring systems that tell you there is a problem, but you still need to go to each individual tire and check its pressure. You will need to get the manufacturer’s rating, which is normally located on the inside driver’s door, but again, I recommend consulting a professional, as some tires are rated differently than the manufacturer of the vehicle originally recommended.

Winter is just around the corner! Now is the time to get your vehicle ready for the cold days ahead. All makes & models welcomed. • Multi Vehicle 50-point inspection starting at $74.95 • Coolant Flush $129.95

HAMPTON RELAY FOR LIFE 2014 On behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society Hampton Relay for Life 2014, “Kicking Cancer Country Style,” we want to thank our many volunteers, sponsors and partners for a successful event. When our awesome Relay Teams were done kicking up their heels and all the dust settled, we had raised over $46,000 for the fight against cancer. 88 survivors walked the field during the first lap of Relay and with every step they took, they gave us hope.

HAMPTON SCULPTURE UNVEILED

CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS WEEK

Jim Boyd's’ sculpture, “Peace Wing” was unveiled next to the Hampton Pavillion on September 26 and if you haven’t already been down to see it you should really take a few minutes and go enjoy the beauty of this sculpture. It complements the CREDO monument across the street on the courthouse lawn, and blends in beautifully with Hampton’s love of nature and heritage as the birthplace of John Peters Humphrey. This beautiful work of art took over a month to carve during Sculpture Saint John. It weighs 7,500 pounds and was carved out of granite from Hampstead. The two colour effect is achieved by

The goal of Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, October 20-24, is to help educate women on the prevention and detection of cervical cancer. This includes having regular pap smear testing. Each year 400,000 women in Canada will receive an abnormal pap test result. If left untreated, the abnormal cells of the cervix could develop into cancer. On Thursday, October 23 The Women’s Wellness Centre at St. Joseph’s Hospital will be offering a pap test clinic from 9:00am-3:00pm. No appointment necessary. Get your pap test today; it could save your life. For more information call 632-5454. 3138

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton HOW DO YOU DRESS YOUR SALAD? Colin Sifton here again with an answer to your question. Today people are trying to be more healthy with what they put in their bodies but at the same time buy items that are easily made with more natural products. One of these things is salad dressing. It is one thing to eat a salad, it is another to drown it in store bought salad dressing filled with preservatives. Here at Holly’s we try and make our own dressings, where applicable, to give a more unique flavour to a dish. One in particular is the salmon and salad. Salad dressing was once broken into two different categories - oil dressings and creamy dressings. One misconception is that one is oil based and the other cream. In fact both are oil based dressings, as they both contain mainly oil. The difference is the creamy dressing is emulsified with egg yolk and

mustard. Oil based dressings are mainly oil and vinegar. With these two main ingredients we then add our flavour; which can come from a few different places. Sometimes it comes from the flavour of vinegar we use. You can use white vinegar to make a sharp dressing, but it often needs to be cut with some sugar or honey because it is so strong. Using red wine vinegar is a more mild flavour and adds colour to your dressing. A popular vinegar these days is balsamic, which is sweeter but more robust. The other flavours comes from onion, garlic, herbs and spices we add to make the dressing unique and to bring out flavours in the dish we are trying to create. Creamy dressings starts with an egg yolk and a small amount of mustard. Dijon is definitely the best to use here. Add your vinegar of choice and start adding your oil slowly. This emulsifies it together and creates a creamy appearance. Squeeze in some lemon juice and a little salt and white pepper and you have created

mayonnaise. This is the base for all creamy dressings. To change it into caesar dressing we would add anchovies and garlic which gives it that famous flavour. With this mayonnaise base we can create hundreds of our own salad dressings. These days, with everyone trying to be more healthy, we have started creating dressing from yogurt base and adding our own flavours. For example, I make a great spinach salad dressing by adding orange concentrate to plain yogurt with honey, paprika garlic and poppy seeds. This is just one of many ways we can use our imagination and the foods we like to make something different and unique, healthy and low fat, to our diets. 0040

Card of Thanks The family of the late Donald H. Macdonald (Sandy) wishes to thank everyone who sent heartfelt messages of condolence at the time of Dad’s passing. Your kind words and thoughtfulness were much appreciated. We also want to thank the staff of the Palliative Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital, as well as the Extra Mural Care team for their help during a difficult time. Dad always had a ready laugh and many enjoyed his quick wit and impromptu poetry recitations. He will be missed.

The Central Kings Rec Centre has a brand new-playground for children in the community to enjoy. The grand opening took place during their Fall Fun Days. The playground replaced an old wooden structure that was dilapidated and no longer safe for the children to play on. It comes after two years of fundraising by the Rec Centre’s twelve member board who organized sock hops, movie nights, princess tea parties, blueberry festivals and dances. Since the building was finished there have been children out enjoy

the playground everyday, and board member Karen Totton hopes this is a trend that will continue, bringing both children and adults back to the rec centre. With one project well accomplished the board is looking to sink its teeth into a new project to better serve their community. While nothing is decided yet Karen Totton speculated that an upgraded kitchen & bathrooms, and wheelchair accessibility would all be great projects to help the centre better serve the people around it. 3140

FIRE Prevention

On October 11, 2014 the Sussex Fire Department will be hosting a Fire Prevention Open House from 10AM to 1 PM at 22-1 Maple Avenue in Sussex, NB. We will have the Fire Safety House on hand as well as Sparky! Come meet the Firefighters, see their equipment and get some cool fire prevention gifts! It’s always a great time! It is open to all children and their families and we hope to see lots of people attend!

“Working smoke alarms save lives test yours every month!” Do you know why Fire Prevention Week is early October every year?

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 lasted two days – October 8th and 9th – and killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless and burned more than 2,000 acres. That fire forever changed the way that public officials viewed fire safety. To mark the 40th anniversary of this tragic event, the Fire Marshals Association of North America deemed that the most appropriate

commemoration was to do everything they could to educate and inform the public about the importance of fire safety and prevention. Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed every Sunday through Saturday of the week that October 9th falls on. Have you evaluated your home recently for fire safety? • When was the last time you’ve checked your smoke alarms? • Is there a smoke alarm on every floor and in every bedroom? • Is there a fire extinguisher in the kitchen? • Is it charged and ready?

Working smoke alarms save lives Test your smoke alarm each month and change the battery when you change your clocks in the spring and fall. Locate your alarm at least 60cm (2 feet) from any corner of a room. Remember, your smoke alarm cannot protect you if you remove the batteries!

Test your alarm each month. Change your batteries when you change your clocks. Keep alarms away for windows, doors, air registers or fans. If you have an electric smoke alarm (hard wired in your home) consider installing a battery operated alarm also. It will give your protection in the event of a power outage.

Does everyone in your home know your fire escape plan: Where to meet, and at least two ways out of the house from where they sleep? Do you know these fire prevention facts? Smoke Alarms work best when placed on the ceiling near the center of a room or the top of a staircase. (Keep them at least two feet from light fixtures) Smoke Alarms should be located on every level of your house and in every bedroom. Rechargeable fire extinguishers need to be recharged by a professional after every use, even if you used just a squirt, the pressure inside will slowly leak out. Small disposable fire extinguishers are a one-time use item and should be replaced once they’ve been used and the pressure seal has been broken.

Smoke Alarms should be tested monthly and should be replaced every ten years. The batteries should be changed at least once a year. Ionization smoke alarms respond quickest to flaming fires. Photoelectric alarms will respond quicker to smouldering smoky fires. It’s best to have both types installed in your home. If your house is filling up with smoke it’s best to crawl on your hands and knees to safety. The freshest air will be near the floor.

feel for heat before opening any doors during a fire. Your evacuation plan should be under three minutes and well-practiced. Children are shown to panic less when your fire evacuation plan is well practiced. Homes used to be equipped with “Fire Bombs” or “Fire Grenades”. They were glass balls filled with salt water or chemicals and were designed to be thrown at fires and douse the flames upon impact.

Most fire victims die from smoke or toxic gases and not from actual burns. You should hold your hand close to the doorknob to “With files from Fire Prevention Canada”

Candles Can Be Dangerous There has been an alarming increase in home candle fires. Candle fires start when the candle is left unattended, abandoned, inadequately controlled or left too close to combustible materials. Tips for safe use of candles: • Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or going to sleep. • Keep candles well away from items that can catch fire. • Use sturdy holders that will not tip over, on top of a secure piece of furniture. • Make sure candle holders are non-combustible and big enough to collect dripping wax. • Keep candles and all open flames away from flammable liquids. • Do not use candles in places where they can be knocked over by children or pets. While a lot of all candle fires start in the bedroom, the use of candles for holiday decorating alters this pattern during December, when more home candle fires start in the family room or dining room.

PRINCESS MARY CHRISTMAS BOX When the first world war broke out in August 1914, people thought it would be a quick affair and everyone would be home for Christmas. In October the reality set in that the fighting men and brave nurses would be away from their homes for Christmas. Princess Mary felt bad for all those serving on the front and started a fundraising campaign to give a gift to everyone serving on the front. Her fundraising campaign raised 170,000 pounds and a total of 2.5 million boxes were distributed to allied forces. The majority of the boxes contained tobacco, cigarette papers, and a tinder lighter. Non-smokers could opt to receive box that contained a writing pad, a bullet shaped pencil, and some acid tablets. The nursing sisters received a box filled with chocolates. Many soldiers kept personal items in

LISTEN IN by Jeff liberty FOG LIT FESTIVAL BLEW INTO TOWN Oct 1-5 was an exciting time for avid book readers and writers of any level as the wonderful Fog Lit festival blew into town. There were some exciting events and workshops which attracted all ages and interests. I had the opportunity to e-interview author and “internationally renowned forensic anthropologist Debra Komar attended the festival, here is that chilling and riveting interview. CAUTION – This interview may be disturbing for some Readers! For more info go to http://foglit.com. JL - When did you first want to write your own book(s)? Debra - I loved books as a kid and always knew I wanted to write. When I was in academia, cranking out the textbook and dozens of scholarly articles. When I retired from academia and active service in 2011, I decided the time had come to give it a try and write something for a general

audience. The result is the four book series Goose Lane is currently publishing. JL - Is there a case(s) that stands out to you more than any other you have worked on? Debra - Because I did mass death, the number of cases I did was huge (I stopped counting at 6,000 and that was years before I retired). There are some large-scale cases I will never forget - working on the Saddam Hussein trial in Iraq in 2004 or testifying at The Hague in the Srebrenica trials. But a lot of smaller cases from when I was at the medical examiner's offices in Edmonton or Albuquerque also stand out. Cases like that may not grab the headlines the way some of the others do, but they are the reason my job was always fascinating. JL - Does music play a role in your work or personal life? (Name maybe 5 songs by which artist if you could.) Debra - That is actually a great question. I did a lot of major deployments for the United Nations and organizations like Physicians for Human Rights. Each one of those experiences, at least for me, comes with its own soundtrack. War

torn countries have little regard for international copyright laws and within days of a military base being established, young local tycoons would set up "record stores" selling bootlegged CDs, DVDs and video games to the troops stationed there. Every disc was a dollar and they managed to get all the latest releases. Sadly, Europe and Southeast Asia tends to favour dance music, so there was a lot of junk and disco but they would produce these strange mix tape disc.

What is QiGong? (Chi Kung) QiGong means “breathe work”; a combination of controlled deep breathing and 24 postures done on a regular basis, is Therapeutic QiGong in a nutshell. The first component of QiGong addresses posture and works to lengthen the spine. The next element is deep respiration, learned by practicing abdominal breathing. The third QiGong element entails mental visualization to clear the mind and promote physical and spiritual healing. It can be summed up as “Meditation in Motion.” Doing a session of QiGong is equal to a cardio workout. You are working the inner body and opening blockages within your meridians. The energy just flows! There are three routines consisting of eight postures in each. Regular practice can reduce stress, strengthens the core, improve sleep and balance. Namaste. Submitted by Lana Walsh, QiGong Instructor. 3143

OBITUARIES HARRISON, Sybil Marion It is with sadness, the family of Sybil Marion Harrison, age 78, of Hampton, NB announces her death which occurred on Friday, September 19 2014 at her residence. She was born in New Jerusalem NB, a daughter of the late Ralph and Sybil (Hamilton) Harrison. Marion is survived by her sisters Verna Webb of Sussex NB, and Shirley Douglas of Coldbrook NS; brother Clarence Harrison of Saint John NB; sisters-inlaw Evelyn Harrison of Titusville NB and Geraldine Harrison of Gagetown NB; as well as several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, Marion was predeceased by her brothers Kenneth and Clive; sister Ruth Fitzsimons; sisterin-law Jessie Harrison; and brothers-inlaw Malcolm Webb, Lloyd Douglas and Robert Fitzsimons. Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference. Let me tell you about my friend Marion Harrison. Marion was born in New Jerusalem and lived there until 1952, then her family relocated to Hampton, where she attended school, and when she finished, she worked at the telephone office. Later on in life she went to Saint John, working at NBTel. In 1968 she was diagnosis with MS, she continued to work until 1978 when she had to retired due to the illness. Marion was a very talented guitar player, who could keep up with anyone, and sing, well that was something. I always told her she could sing with anybody and make them sound good. Marion was a very generous person, to her family, friends, and many others as well, though she did not want any recognition in return. Her generosity was always shown by faithfully donating to many charities. Marion had a sense of humour like none other. She was a riot at Christmas and could find gifts for her family and friends that nobody else could find. It was a few years before anybody found out her secret shopping place, which turned out to be catalogues from anywhere in

The Hampton Herald

Canada. In 2009 Marion moved to Ossekeag Place; she loved living there and was always very thankful to all the people who had the vision to build the beautiful building. Donating towards projects for the building became another common practice for her. In May 2013, Marion was told she had lung cancer, though this was difficult, she never once questioned “Why Me”. She accepted it, like she did with her MS, and continued on worrying about others more than herself. Marion was loved by all her family and friends and will be missed greatly. Today my friend you are taking your “last road”. Go play your guitar and sing with the angels. Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace. She rested at Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton with visitation on Tuesday, September 23 2014 from 4:00-8:00pm. The funeral service, conducted by Rev. Kelly Hudson-Lewis, was held from Reid’s Funeral Home Chapel on Wednesday, September 24 2014 at 11:00am. Pianist Cheryl Bezanson lead the congregation in the singing of “Have Thine Own Way, Lord” and “In The Garden”. Jeff Douglas shared memories of Marion. Scripture readings were done by Linda Cunningham, Kim Simpson and Stacy Hanninen. A reception took place at the Hampton United Church followed by a private family interment in Hampton Rural Cemetery. Honourary Pallbearers were Richard Harrison, Nick de Monyé, Paula & Mark Perry, Jim & Patti Hebb, George Oliver, Burt Oliver, Joanne & Ernie LeBlanc, Pauline Lawton, Rose Linton. For those who wish, donations may be made to the Hampton United Church, Hampton Food Basket or to the charity of the Donor’s Choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be made through: ReidsFH.com. The family of the late S. Marion Harrison would like to thank family and friends for their words of kindness, cards, flowers, memories and food. Thank you to Linda Scott, of Joan’s Home Support, Marion’s personal care. A special thank you to all the K.V. Extramural group, especially Christine who supported us all the way. Thanks to Reid’s Funeral Home for all

their help. A very special thank you to Marions good friend, Doris for all her generous help and kindness during her illness, you were always there for Marion. To Rev. Kelly Hudson-Lewis, words cannot express our thanks for your visits with Marion and family. And special thank you for the beautiful service. Thank you to the Hampton UCW for a wonderful reception. The family of the late S. Marion Harrison.

OBITUARIES FRY, George Frederick With sad hearts we announce the peaceful death of George Frederick Fry of Bloomfield NB, age 84, husband of the late Marigold (Mollie) Fry, which occurred on Saturday, September 20 2014, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. He was born on December 26, 1929 in Bromley, Kent, England the son of the late George and Marjorie (Duffield) Fry. George is survived by his two sons Jeremy Fry and his wife Donna of Bloomfield NB, Nicholas Fry and his wife Susan of Westbank BC; grandchildren Cassandra, Mitchell, James, Allison; and his great-grandchildren. A true champion to the arts and crafts community of NB, George’s devoted and passionate voice, insisting on the cultural importance and extolling the superior quality of arts and crafts in this province, is now silent… but his profuse contributions to that community will forever resonate. Beloved by his family and friends, he was a man of great compassion, intelligence, and artistic talent. His wise and eloquent words so filled with kindness, support, and understanding will be missed deeply. “Love… it really IS all that matters,” were some of his final words; followed swiftly by a burst of his jovial laugh, “Sounds like a dreadful film cliché. But it’s true.” We have lost a genuinely wonderful human being who will be remembered as a shining example of what is good and right with humanity. For a more detailed insight into George’s biography, professional experience, accomplishments, awards, and creative contributions, please visit: georgefryrecreates.ca. Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton NB. A celebration of George’s life will be held at a later date.

FAMILY MATTERS by anita hofmann FAMILY TIME IN BUSY TIMES Four tips for families on the go: First the good news. We live in a community rich in resources that benefit our children and promote health and wellness. The bad news is that we can become overwhelmed with taking our children from activity to activity. If you have more than one child you might find that you are never at home. For many busy parents, finding quality time to be with their kids can be a big challenge. Here are 4 things you can do to ensure you get your week’s worth of family time: 1. Set a ‘No Drive Zone’. This would be the equivalent to scheduling a day or night aside for just the family, where no driving or rushing around is allowed. Each week a different family member can choose the activity, making the no drive zone something children will remember. Telling others about your family’s no drive zone can also avoid outside distractions. 2. Visible Family Calendar. Make sure everyone in the family can see the family activity calendar and that family time is consistently set each week. Having a visual calendar keeps everyone accountable to that day and reduces the chances of scheduling surprises. Assigning a different family ‘event coordinator’ each week can prevent family time from becoming boring and members will look forward to family time each week. 3. Organize Family Time Around What You Already Do. Often the easiest way to organize family time for real busy families is by incorporating it into an activity the family is already doing. Mealtimes are a great way to get your family time in and make every moment count. There is usually something to stir, spread, set, shake and clean up. Share the work and enlist the help of the whole family – even the littlest ones. 4. Have a Plan B. B is for backup. Even the best laid plans can fall victim to some unexpected event. In cases such as these have a back-up plan for family time. Perhaps it could be Sunday breakfast party, bedtime reading night,

week debriefing over hot chocolate, or a fun family game of question and answer. With the beginning of a new school year comes the beginning of a new family schedule. Managing the multiple demands of family life can be a challenge and family time can get lost in the shuffle. The good news is that despite a hectic family schedule, family time

can be a memorable date that has a permanent slot on the weekly calendar. 0006

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS The Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is hosting a Women’s Fundraising Dinner & Silent Auction: “Women Helping Women through Food and Song” on Saturday, October 25. Food will be prepared by Chef Nancy Fox, featuring local produce from the Hampton Community Garden. Songs will be provided by the incredibly talented Debbie Adshade and Hannah Cummings! Doors open at 6:00/ dinner at 6:45pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, 1032 Main Street. Tickets ($45) are available from Hampton Pharmasave, Holly’s, or by calling Maureen 832-7522/Jill 832-0815. In 2013, Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee member Maureen Robichaud visited Piggs Peak Swaziland with her son Sam. When I asked Sam to tell me what made the biggest impression on him, he responded, “What I found most shocking was the treatment of women.

In general they are treated as lesser than men. They do not have the equal rights we take for granted in North America. An education establishes a higher status for girls, helping them to keep safe as well as becoming more independent in the world.” The focus of our committee is increasingly turning to the females in Piggs Peak - the girls who need an education and also, at the other end of the age spectrum, the gogos (grandmothers) who are largely responsible for raising the children who have been orphaned by AIDS. Gogos in Swaziland are the unsung heroes who are holding together the social fabric of their communities because the middle generation is not there: most have died from AIDS. Philile Mlotshwa of Swapol (Swaziland Positive Living) says, "Grandmothers are at the frontline of the HIV-AIDS impact. They

have to pick up the pieces and move on. They don't have time to grieve because the children need to be looked after. They are doing this without any income… they are not healthy people: they are sick with diabetes and high blood pressure. We are seeing women who are carrying on in spite of the challenges and the fear of what will happen to these grandchildren if they die." If you are a woman in Hampton, here’s your chance to show your support for your sisters in Piggs Peak. The proceeds from this women’s dinner will be used to help the women there - school fees for the girls who need an education and support for the gogos who need our help to ease the incredible burden of responsibility they bear. Gather a group of friends and come. Get your tickets early; the food and music will be amazing and the event should sell out quickly. If you have any questions about the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, please contact me, Mark Bettle at bettlem@ nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003.

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave Wolpin TURKEY TALK As a retailer, I have conformed in almost every way to the turkey tradition. In Canada, 3.1 million whole turkeys are sold at Thanksgiving and we are certainly part of that number. However, perhaps the tradition that supposedly started in 1621 is a little bit outdated. Originally, turkey was only a small part of a meal that included other fowl, seafood, vegetables and fruits. Turkey only became popular after 1800. The truth is, we're not eating the same turkey that the Pilgrims hunted, or our ancestors ate a few generations ago. For the large part, we eat artificially bred broad breasted white turkeys that have such poor genetics that they can drop dead of heart problems at any point. A local turkey farmer always tells me, "they drop dead if you look at them wrong." The world is a different place than it was even a century ago. Raising enough turkey to fill everyone's plates in 1900 is a much different process than raising the millions

of turkeys we expect in 2014. A century ago, turkeys were all raised outdoors and ate unprocessed plant material and bugs. Today, most of our turkeys are raised inside massive barns, never see the light of day and survive on a diet of processed feed with animal by-products, as well as medications to artificially support their immune system so they can stay alive in an environment that would normally kill any living being. In an attempt to make a better situation out of Kredl's turkey sales conformity, I convinced a local turkey farmer to revert to his methods from decades ago to produce a flock of pasture-raised turkeys fed nonmedicated feed. It was a huge success last year and although I ordered way too many, we ended up grinding them and creating a huge demand for ground turkey, which we sold out of in March. However, it would be a huge undertaking to raise millions of turkeys in this way, so why don't we update our traditions? The cornucopia of vegetables we have now in New Brunswick are not available FRESH

year-round. For me, a holiday in this season is just an excuse to indulge in the most delicious New Brunswick produce. I am an omnivore and I love meat, but I don't see why a selection of meat has to be the centerpiece of a fine meal. Why can't it revolve around the vegetables? One of my absolute favourite autumn dishes is to simply roast vegetables with olive oil, sea salt, fresh-ground pepper and cayenne pepper. My favourite things to roast are carrots, parsnips, butternut squash, garlic, Brussels sprouts, onions and sweet potatoes. They are delicious, filling and colourful. So this Thanksgiving, consider a meal with only New Brunswick produce. If you want turkey, ham or another hunk of meat, make it a side. Honour the vegetables first, then the meat. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market

KINGSTON CADETS NEED MUSIC INSTRUCTOR The 140 Kingston Peninsula Royal Canadian Army Cadets are looking for a qualified instructor to help us start up a small "Glock and Drum" band. Although this would be primarily a volunteer position, there may be a small stipend available to offset costs for travel and to thank you for your time. The youth in this program have made it clear that they'd like to get the band back up and running after years without

etty Hitchcock, of Saint John, is one of the busiest volunteers in the province. Since 2002, she has supported hundreds of women with a breast cancer diagnosis through peer support programs provided by the Canadian Cancer Society. Currently, she volunteers with CancerConnection, a national, telephone-based peer support program that pairs newly diagnosed patients with people who have experienced cancer. Betty was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in 1998. Treatments were aggressive - six months of chemo, followed by 25 rounds of radiation and a mastectomy – but Betty went through it with courage and grace. “I just kept thinking if the treatment is making me feel this miserable, imagine what it must be doing to those cancer cells.” Betty’s personal cancer journey has given comfort and

hope to many women over the years, and she has inspired many others to become peer support volunteers. She continues to be an important link between health-care professionals and the breast cancer community. Through CancerConnection, patients can be matched with someone who had a similar cancer experience. Caregivers are also encouraged to access the program for emotional support and information that will help them care for their loved ones. For more information,

please contact 1 888 939-3333. The facts: • In New Brunswick, an estimated 560 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 110 will die from the disease this year. • An estimated 24,400 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada in 2014. An estimated 5,000 women will die from the disease. • A woman has a 1 in 9 chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime and 1 in 29 women will die of it. • The death rate for breast cancer for Canadian women has fallen over 40% since the mid-1980s. • Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women. • Breast cancer occurs primarily in women 50 and over. CancerConnection is not the only resource available through the Canadian Cancer Society, which works across Canada to ensure that no one is alone in the fight against cancer by

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS We always are grateful for the many people who support this outreach and often highlight the gifts that we receive; in the last issue we mentioned the help that we received from the Linnea Good concert, but failed to thank Bell Aliant for the major role that they played in providing fifty backpacks for the children going back to school, a major blessing for our clients. Sometimes we highlight in the hopes that a really bright idea might catch on, as with the

generosity of Dianne Earle, she recently celebrated her birthday and in lieu of gifts asked for support for the Food Basket; we received a very handsome donation of food and cash, thanks so much Dianne. We will continue with the screening process in October and ask that clients bring proof of address and the most recent tax return with them, our hope is always to assist and be good stewards of the moneys and food that are

donated to the Basket. Our experience tells us that the majority of our clients are doing an amazing job at stretching their very small incomes, we are proud of their ability to ‘make do’. Next preparation day will be on Wednesday, October 15 starting at 8:00am; Clients will be served on Thursday, October 16 from 8:30 until 11:00am. We ask that clients mark their calendars for the third Thursday of every month and come on that day. If you cannot attend then please designate a friend to pick up for you, provide them with a note to authorize the pickup and a medicare number of an adult in your family. We will start registrations for Christmas on Thursday, October 16. We are in desperate need of people with strong backs to help our clients out with their carts, many of our volunteers, though not yet over the hill, are certainly within reach of the summit! Please help, we need support on the Wednesday preparation day as well as on the Thursday client day, refreshments and great fellowship during the client day! There’s a pile of requests that we hope you can help with, Janice Titus, 8324340 will be happy to respond to your call if you have any of the following: 1 single mattress; 3 single beds; 3 double beds; 1 double head and foot board; 1 sit down walker; 3 dryers; 4 washers; small stackable washer and dryer; any kind of yarn.

MEMORY CAFE IN HAMPTON Support for a memory cafe in Hampton is being sought by local residents. People affected by Alzheimer disease and their families & caregivers can join together once a month in a safe, familiar environment to get out and enjoy some company. Recently a trial memory cafe was held at the Hampton Legion. Everyone who attended was treated to refreshments, entertainment and fellowship. A short presentation was given on Alzheimers and dementia. Having a monthly memory cafe in

Hampton would be of great benefit to those suffering from Alzheimers, their families and caregivers. It is an excellent way to break up the monotony of a daily routine and have some enjoyment with people who are going through similar things. If you or someone you know are interested in attending a monthly memory cafe in Hampton please contact: saintjohn@alzheimernb.ca.

IN THE GARDEN by betty Kennett HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL... The major hope in the minds of most gardeners is that of abundant rainfall, and that’s probably true also for most people who depend on well water for their daily needs; the dry weather has virtually put a stop to conventional gardening since the ground is rock hard, digging has become a chore solely for the stout hearted and determined. Bearing in mind the fond hope printed above there are a few things that we can do while we wait for the longed for precipitation. First on my ‘to do’ list is to spend some joyful time in the garden centres that provide a good sampling of spring bulbs and there’s no time like the present to select these beauties even though the actual planting will need to be delayed until the heavens open with the gift of rain. There are plenty of pre-packaged selections available however the greatest fun is to be had in the establishments that

Send a special message to someone you care about. Call 832-5613 Email info@ossekeag.ca or visit ossekeag.ca

sell loose bulbs; these usually are displayed in boxes that show a photograph of the bulb along with information regarding height and the best location with respect to sun or shade. The early bird certainly catches the worm in this situation since many of these loose bulbs are whoppers, often with three or four segments, each of which will produce a bloom and the wise shopper can fish around in the box to find the best deal. We are all aware by now that the huge deer population have Tulips on the top of the list for gourmet dining and unless you have a fenced in yard you may just as well bypass these beauties... however there is a great selection in the daffodil family that are usually totally deer proof, the colours range from white, through all shades of yellow and orange (and even pink if you have the stomach for it), they come in heights ranging from miniature to eighteen inches and when planted in clumps of the same type/colour, create a sensational feature. There are of course many other bulbs that are fun to grow,

sadly most are readily eaten by the pesky white tails and need protection; all bulbs need to be planted in a hole that is three times as deep as the size of the bulb, preferably with a sprinkle of bone meal in well turned over soil that has been amended with compost and well rotted manure. As the leaves begin to fall and before the accumulation is knee deep, it’s a good practice to lift the blade on the mower to at least three inches and sweep around the lawns, the resulting chopped up leaves that get mixed up with the grass clippings are great fertilizer for the lawn and, joy of joys, the process allows you to pass up on that tiresome job of raking! Keep up with the rain dances and prayers! Blessings.

SUSSEX TOASTMASTERS An Activity That Improves Your Leadership And Public Speaking Skills: try something new this season and visit Sussex Toastmasters, a club where you “learn-by-doing” and where men and women hone their leadership and speaking skills in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. There is no instructor in a toastmasters club; instead, members conduct the meetings. A typical meeting is broken into three areas: 1. Prepared

speeches, where members work in a communication program manual that has a series of 10 speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. 2. Evaluations, which are the cornerstone of Toastmasters and afford the speaker immediate feedback on what members liked and identifies areas for improvement. 3. Impromptu talks or “thinking on your feet” where a member responds to various topics.

CROSSWORD

Toastmaster members have the opportunity to serve as officers in various leadership roles and learn parliamentary procedure. Best of all, in Toastmasters, you can go at your own pace. Meetings are held every other Wednesday evening at 7:00pm at the Sussex Middle School library. For more information contact Trish Smith at trish.e.smith@gmail.com or check out our website at: 5386. toastmastersclubs.org. G131

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISER Financial advisers play a significant role in helping you manage your financial future so it is important to make an informed choice of who you will work with. Despite the importance of the decision, only 1-in-3 New Brunswick investors have checked the background of their financial adviser. Protect yourself by asking your adviser these 3 questions before you invest: 1) Are you registered with FCNB? In order to be in the business of giving you investment advice or buying and selling investments on your behalf, advisers and the firms they work for must be registered with FCNB. Registration helps protect investors by confirming that firms and individuals meet established standards. Visit

FCNB.ca to make sure your adviser is registered with us. 2) How are you paid for your services? Not all advisers are paid for their services in the same way. Advisers may receive a commission for every product they sell, charge a flat fee based on an hourly rate or the amount of assets you have invested with them, or be paid a salary. Ask your adviser how they are paid, how much their services will cost, how these fees will affect your returns, and what types of services you will receive. 3) Who are your typical clients? You may be more comfortable and successful working with an adviser who has experience working with clients who are a lot like you in terms of financial background, goals, and investment experience. Ask your adviser to describe their typical client and ask how he or she helped them reach their goals. These are just a few of the questions to ask a potential adviser, but it doesn’t stop there. Visit FCNB.ca to download our Check Before You Invest Workbook and follow the five simple steps to help you to check the background of your adviser before you invest. 3145

BONJOUR By: Chloe Nash “Bonjour”, that‘s the way I now have to greet my teacher in the morning. My name is Chloe and I am in grade 5 French Extended Core. I am 10 years old and my favorite things to do are to write stories, sing and dance. I live in the country by a big lake and I love to swim in the summer and collect sticks left behind by the beavers. This year, I started French and I was a little scared of my teacher at first but Madame is really fun and awesome! If you are in Macdonald Consolidated School don’t be afraid because they are awesome teachers. At my school, I volunteered for cafeteria duty which means that I help Kindergarten-Grade 1 kids stay quiet and sometimes I help to open their

lunch things. I was also signed up for peer helper duty which means I help kids outside in case someone is hurt or fighting. Now you know a bit about my changes this year so let’s talk about what could be different about your school year. If a friend has moved away or if your friends are in a different class or if you are nervous about starting new classes, sports or activities, just remember that new experiences are the way we learn and grow. It is important to always remember that no matter what you do or where you are to always think positive and try your hardest even if you are scared. Thank you for reading my article and as my French teacher would say “Au revoir”. 3146

MUSINGS by debbie hickey TWO THINGS This was one of those weeks where I have been vacillating between two topics for this article, so rather than pick just one I have chosen to see the connections between the two and discuss both. Firstly, I recently decided to buy myself a

gift I have been thinking about for several months. . . an e-reader. Anyone who knows me will testify that I am an avid reader. As a child if I was stuck I would read the backs of the cereal boxes while I ate breakfast. Like a smoker who is without cigarettes, as I was nearing the end of one book I would start to wonder where the next one was coming from. As an adult, able to control my own

book supply, this has been less of an issue, tho’ as the reserve of unread books would start to dwindle I would be planning my next trip to pick up more. Somehow I rarely make it to the library so it has been mostly purchasing second-hand books that has kept my addiction supplied. When I paused to consider what this was costing me I realized I have been spending $40-$50 per month on my book habit. Since it is unlikely I will stop reading, the obvious solution was to find a less expensive source. Enter the e-reader. After researching the best brand (make sure it has its own light for reading in bed!) that is also compatible with the NB Public Library (e-books are free to borrow, just like “real” ones) I took the plunge. It took me most of an evening to figure out what I needed to get those free library books, but I got there. I have finished reading one, have a hold on another (in other words I am waiting for it to be returned so I can borrow it next) and have downloaded a second. BUT. . . Michael and I read many of the same books, so I am not sure how it is going to work with only one e-reader. Either we will need to get another, or I will continue to make occasionally forays for second-hand books. Which brings me to the second thing on my mind. . . recycling. The vote for those of us served by Fundy Region Solid Waste as to whether curbside collection of recyclables will become a reality is coming up later this month. Mike and I are devoted recyclers. All those books are dutifully returned to be resold over and over, and if one should fall apart it would go into the paper recycling, never the garbage. The big concern regarding curbside recycling is cost. Let me ask, are you aware of the cost involved? A mere $18. Not per week, not per month, per YEAR. Come on people, that’s one coffee per MONTH to pay for curbside recycling. It’s time we take the environment seriously. Let’s do what’s right for our corner of the world. . . it will be fifteen years before we have an opportunity to revisit this. Do we really want to wait that long for the cost of a coffee a month? 0002 Debbie Hickey President, Ossekeag Publishing
